Martin Hollis, who worked on Perfect Dark and the original GoldenEye on the N64, has said he has some reservations about the upcoming GoldenEye remake.

Certain remakes should be left alone, meaning leave GoldenEye alone. I still got fun memories about playing it on the N64 and I don't want the title to be modernized with perks and shit like that.

If they should do anything at all is to just brush GoldenEye up to HD and release it on PSN and Xbox Live w/e the Wii uses as a store..

Eamon5679d ago

agreed. They should just improve the graphics or at least make it HD.

But the reason why it won't reach PSN and XBL is because Nintendo still wants to keep this.

tacosRcool5679d ago

And their messing the original formula up as well

Krimmson5679d ago

Rare did attempt to make Goldeneye an Xbox Live Arcade download, long before Perfect Dark HD. But since Activision now owns the Bond license, along with failed negotiations with Nintendo and Microsoft, it was never meant to be.

Seeing that Pefect Dark HD did come out however, I blame no Goldeneye HD on Activision.

Then dont play it?
Its simple really.

"If they should do anything at all is to just brush GoldenEye up to HD and release it on PSN and Xbox Live w/e the Wii uses as a store.."

What makes you think your nostalgia will return if you play a patched up version?
Those funs are in the past, you can't recreate that with a "renovation". GE was special for its age on a console.

The Wii version sh/ts all over the classic GE, in terms of visuals and story telling.
Whether its "as" fun is up for debate. But seriously "remakes" will never bring back the fun you had in the past since games have progressed so deeply.

I looked at the PD renovation and felt like a major disappointment. Just like Turtles in Time, it looked like total crap( even though its visually enhanced).
Because I was holding tight to my nostalgia goggles.
We expect it to be as awesome as back then, but its not and never will be.

appleseedexm5679d ago

a guy who worked on the n64 version should understand, that you can't make this game better. I agree with that, update the graphics, maybe think about the physics (or leave it as it is) and you have a game many gamers would buy again.

ChickeyCantor5679d ago

"that you can't make this game better"

Perhaps not, but they can modernize it( and thats what they are doing).

IaMs125679d ago

Modernizing it, doesnt mean it will be better anyway. ONLY thing i like about modern games is the graphics thats pretty much they all got going for them, except for few titles. Not all are bad but a lot of them are generic.

See when goldeneye came out it was different awesome, everything that came out back then was unique in its on way. Now its CoD this, CoD rip off here, run gun this and that. Its all the same, bring something new bring the spark of the old school back. Give us that feeling we had when we bought games back then where we know each game was its own. Not same shit different skins.

ChickeyCantor5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

I think i did say "Perhaps not"...
Im not judging it.

"ONLY thing i like about modern games is the graphics thats pretty much they all got going for them"

What about story telling?
This new GE does so much more than the original.

OhReginald5679d ago

isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd remake or something?

Swiftfox5679d ago

There was the origanal Goldeneye on the N64 then Goldeneye:Rogue Agent. Rogue Agent wasn't a remake of the orginal game and was more like a spin-off and wasn't well recieved at all.

This will be the first remake of the origanal Goldeneye but so many things are being changed it's a completely different game delivering a completely different experience from the origanal.

OhReginald5678d ago

well I know that someone remade the game using the half-life engine.

Swiftfox5679d ago

Unfortuntatly the Activision mindset is "Call of Duty = Sales" the rest will be roped into a false sense of nostalgia.

This game is Goldeneye: Modern Warfare. The gameplay that made the orginal so fun and addicting removed. That's not what people wanted.

People wanted the origanal Goldeneye, not just another cookie cutter shooter with the name "Goldeneye" attached.

Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.

Father__Merrin793d ago

It's from a bygone era that was good at the time but is pants now. Same with turok.

NotoriousWhiz792d ago

Whoa whoa whoa. Turok still holds up great.

YourMommySpoils793d ago

Isn't that like considering every other game too.

P_Bomb793d ago

When in doubt, port it out.

jznrpg792d ago

The game was a lot of fun for its time but damn that was a long time ago.

anast792d ago

There are better shooters now and better worlds.

Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.

Ninver1115d ago

Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
